Jitao,

You did not mention which development environment you are using, so I will tell you which VI to use in LabVIEW and which NI-DAQ function to call. In LabVIEW, you will want to use Set SCXI Information.vi. This VI is located in Functions >> Data Acquisition >> Calibration and Configuration. If you are using NI-DAQ function calls, you will want to use SCXI_Set_Config().

Good luck with your application.

The function vis you mentioned,I used before.My program
language is LabVIEW6.1.Before I use AI Config.vi to configue hardware I use Set SCXI Information.vi(or SCXI_Set_Config()),when I run my application it returns
error -10080.Can you bring me some examples?

Jitao,

I had a chance to experiment with Set SCXI Information.vi. If I didn't have a module configured in MAX that was both cabled to a DAQ device and controlling the chassis, I would also receive the -10080 error. If I did have this configured correctly, I could insert and remove SCXI modules from within LabVIEW without issue.
